Subject: Humans think they're the best, but they are horribly mistaken

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

We have our own sense of reason and morality! We don't mate with who we wish and abandon our kids on a beachside, or eat our own babies!


And yet...

All of these things happen, some more often than others though.

Controlling fission events without incident since May, 2012.

Let's dissect this, I want to have some fun.

"Humanity is an ugly race." <-- Subjective

"the majority of humans don't look like the people you see in the movies." <-- Actors and actresses perfect bottled characters, not real, raw personalities.

"Infact, the majority and balk of humanity is nothing more than an immoral, selfish, slob who is depressed." <-- Not sure where this is coming from, other than personal experience.

"Only about 5% of the human population is actually worth something," <-- Subjective, and a sign of a superiority complex. You don't even bother to define what "worth" means.

"A good amount of people try to be worth something, and then the rest just don't give a crap about anything." <-- A good amount? ...5%? Perhaps more? Even if I accept this statement (despite its over-arching generalization) it conflicts with the previous statement.

"Basically, we're all ugly and movies make humans seem like an important bein, but in reality we are extremely overrated." <-- Troll harder. Alternatively, let loose of your detachment from reality. Take a walk outside. I say this because, in reality we don't know of a species that has ever, or is currently, more intelligent than us.

You might say, "we are simply too unintelligent to have found life that rivals our capabilities." Or something to that effect. Despite that, on our planet we are the head honchos. That's a feat, and I'd like to give a round of applause to our success as a species. We've been around for the blink of an astronomical eye, and transformed this planet in ways that will be evident perhaps even after the sun engulfs it, and then withers back to a shell of its former self, billions of years from now. We can manipulate atoms, and detect and interpret gamma ray transmissions from particle collisions to further our understanding of the universe.

You say we are irrelevant. I say you need to look past personal experience, and reach out to the intellectual wonder that our species has been fomenting since long before America, the Islamic Golden Age, or Egypt's first pharaohs.

To understand requires a commitment on your part; the information exists.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Whenever I see a troll thread I get some serious hope that it's not actually a troll thread, but rather, an actual thought-out opinion on a topic.

You've never proven me wrong, Flood.

Dildact's got a point, you know


I actually think the Mantle is a very good thing to live by. Obviously not the looking after advanced species too much so they become weak, but the whole keeping biodiversity going. The Didact is basically a bad ass conservationist.

I dont like humanity as a species because of the things we do, and our disregard and disrespect of every other living species supposedly being "inferior". And plus humans are kinda dull looking, we are pretty featureless and weak compared to some animals.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I agree, why did the creepiest looking species have to be the most intelligent? Imagine a world where bears are the most intelligent, thats a world ide like to live in. (as a bear)

You're right, you should just end it.

Go ahead, put that gun to the bottom of your chin. You obviously think that human beings are worth a sack of -blam!-. You are one, so go ahead.


Oh wait. You probably think you are of that 5%. You probably think you better than most people, so you feel you can say only 5% of the human race is worth anything. Go to hell.

Lol at everyone assuming I think I am in the 5%. I'm just rational, I don't try and convince myself I'm the best, because in reality we all suck. All humans are fragile and slow. The only animals we can outrun are turtles and snails. So genetically speaking we are inferior to all the other animals.

The only thing that we have going for us is our brain, instead of doing things ourselves, we create things to do them for us. Trains, cars, factories, robots, computers, all of it.

And because we create these things, we think we are the -blam!-. Newsflash humanity, we're overrated. We've created a society where it's okay to kill babies. Everyone is immoral and no that isn't subjective. We all know the difference between right and wrong. No one here could watch an 80 year old woman get beat up by 2 teenagers and not think anything about it. You know you are immoral, you are just to stubborn and selfish to accept it.

In conclusion, humans are suppose to take care of the Earth. But look at it. We're melting the our ice caps, the animals we are suppose to care for are going extinct, and we go to war with each other all the time over the stupidest of things. We've reached a point where if another world war breaks out, the Earth will be destroy. Destroyed by nuclear holocaust and I say good riddance. Let another race rise from the ashes. Maybe they can get it right, where we go wrong.

Obvious troll is obvious. Nobody is as ignorant and myopic as the OP is pretending to be.

You may be over exaggerating slightly OP. Granted we may be a bunch of self-concerned unrighteous bastards but we have the potential to be so much more as is proven by that 5%. Just imagine a humanity with that 5% being everyone.

But that will never happen because there will always be people who try and take advantage of others, and those who are fueled by jealousy and lust, and others who just like to hurt people. There will always be bad people, and the bar is lowered every day for what makes someone a "good person".


Humanity is on a persistent collision course with the imminent New Dark Ages.

The foolish ideology of so many is the root of so much stupidity.

Those who try to speak out and inform the ignorant are the ones who are shunned, ignored, and written off as simply 'not true'.

History shows this with so many philosophers, and other important figures - even Jesus Christ himself was crucified because of humanity's ignorance.

OMG WHAT?

Humanity is heading towards logic, not away from it. Our technology wouldn't be progressing at the speed it is if we weren't heading in the direction of logic.

You guys are crazy.

Gather around the campfire, once it goes out, it's out for good.

anyone who says humanity is advanced obviously hasn't had to try find ways of curing hiccups

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

OP is genuinely hilarious.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.
